About This Quiz

With so many amazing tattoo artists and tattoo designs out there, it can be a little overwhelming to get the perfect tattoo. Sometimes, we choose our tattoos based on something we like, but have you considered a tattoo that matches your inner self? After you tell us all about yourself, we'll match you up with the tattoo style you cannot go any longer without.

From tribal tattoos to more flowing watercolor styles, there are as many styles of tattoos as there are styles of art. With such an ending array of possibilities out there, it's better to know which style suits you before you have any further work completed. You don't want to be sporting a tattoo style in 20 years that you will regret when you look in the mirror.

Instead of getting the first tattoo you like, look deeper into yourself with us. It's only through getting to know your quirks and your thoughts that we can accurately pair you with the style that sets off your personality. As you go through our questions, don't hold anything back! Your thoughts are the axis that this ship turns upon, and it's the only way to make sure you get the right style of tattoo!
